8.Stencil Workshop in Munich’s Creative Soul (Max. 12 guests)

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 11 reviews · 2h 30m · from $42

Spray-paint six stencil postcards in a heated container, then walk Munich with Philipp to Alte Utting and Bahnwärter Thiel.

“Sehr zu empfehlen. mit moderner Technik und zweisprachigen Guide kann man auf einer reduzierten und fokussierten Strecke viel neues entdecken, was auch Einheimische nicht wussten. Im Gegensatz zu anderen Führungen, die tradierte Orte zeigen, so erfährt man beim diesem Ausflug nicht nur mehr über Streetart und andere künstlerische Phänomene der Urbanart, sondern erhält die Möglichkeit auf Postkartengröße professionell die Stenciltechnik anzuwenden. Dadurch kann man noch etwas als Erinnerung in haptischer Form mitnehmen und mit Freunden teilen. Vielen lieben Dank.”

★★★★★★★★★★3.6 · 8 reviews · 3 hours · from $46

Adult first-timer ski lessons in Feldberg, Schwarzwald, for $46: small groups, certified instructors, and free shuttle from Köpfleweg 1.

“Outside Parking on the weekend was getting full gradually. Follow instructions for better parking time and place. I assume on the weekdays it’s less full. The overall organization of the school is not that hassle free. If u don’t have ur own equipment, then it will take to stand throughout the line, because there are lots of people willing to do the same. The equipment what they were giving out to people was sometimes almost comical, because it was clear, that the ski is way shorter than it should be. The ski instructor was very young and due to age and the ability to explain stuff, U are kind of…”

“Super mooie omgeving, ideaal voor een eerste kennismaking met langlaufen! Het materiaal was in orde, en leuke begeleiders. In het begin een beetje chaos, en de moesten ook nog bij betalen voor het huren van het materiaal terwijl ik dacht dat dit een all in activiteit was. Dus nog eens 30€ huur materiaal, en misschien iets om te drinken krijgen zou ook leuk zijn bijvoorbeeld een koffie of thee tijdens het wachten :) Voor de rest heel leuke ervaring, zeker een aanrader!”
